Poetry from Mahkamov Mahmudjan

Lifetime cost 

They say life is a fast flowing river

Confluents mean everyone you know

They say fate is different from wishes

It is necessary to obey him without going against him

The measure of every step you take is clear

You do not create tomorrow

Sometimes your life is cloudy, sometimes it’s clear

Reminder flows day and night

Life is full of wine

Who likes it, someone likes it

Sometimes he takes your heart and carves it

After all, he has a pen in his hand

You will pass through various roads

Put different faces on your face

 Waving at some people slowly and casually

 Some will take place in your heart

In this way, the life of a person will be spent

Some live contentedly

A precious opportunity given

Those who have passed away are unhappy with fate

  2. These lines stood out to me as a sort of abstract realism…
    I imagined closing my eyes and seeing the sort of dreamlike “,,,waving at some…casually…” for what are we if not human replica’s of each other’s
    unavoidable foibles replete with the necessary balance of joys and sorrows,
    subject to the similar “fate[s]”.

    “Put different faces on your face
    Waving at some people slowly and casually
    Some will take place in your heart
    In this way, the life of a person will be spent
    Some live contentedly…
    [While] those who have passed away are unhappy with fate”

    The writer caught in a few words human frailty while celebrating human possibility in a way only a young person could: with simple youthful elegance.

  3. Mahkamov, your poetry is prescient, sensitive, and I enjoy it very much. Thank you for sharing.
